I'm glad that standard .30-06 worked in your rifle.

At this point, you may want to salvage that beautiful, German made, Argentine M1909 receiver and build a custom hunting rifle in the chambering of your choice. Restore it or build a new rifle with the existing receiver--either way it's going to be a money pit.Comment

Spotted a similar one in a gun store today, also in 30-06. Asking price was $300. Good price? All the serial numbers matched. Is the receiver stainless?

The receiver is just unblued polished carbon steel.
If it's bubba'd, for $300 it would make a great basis for a sporter if you do the work yourself. The 1909 Argentine action is possibly the finest Mauser action ever made. Heck, the 1909 Argentine floorplate/triggerguard assemblies alone sell for almost half that.
If the barrel/sights haven't been messed with and you could find a nice stock and restore it to it's original configuration, even better, IMHO.
Liberty Tree Collectors has some 1909 Argentine parts, including stocks:
